| Em    C | G    G/F# | Em

[Verse 1]
Em                         C     G
Tell your folks that I get out today
        G/F# Em
And how your man thirsts
    C       G          G/F#
And how his mind works
    Em                      C       G
And tell the kids that I am here to stay
         G/F# Em
And tell your new one
     C     G
That he is my son


[Chorus]
 Am7   Am7/B C     D
(Oh,   oh,   oh,   oh,)
Em                      G                C          G
Can't you feel it? Your hometown hero is home, babe
 Am7   Am7/B C     D     E
(Oh,   oh,   oh,   oh,   oh,)
G          C           G
  It's Independence Day


[Verse 2]
Em                         C       G
Can't you see the rockets, the red glare?
        G/F# Em
And all her  dreamers
    C     G
And party streamers
Em                               C  G
I'd rather be with you here than anywhere
        G/F#   Em
It felt like a century
       C   G
In the penitentiary


[Chorus]
 Am7   Am7/B C     D
(Oh,   oh,   oh,   oh,)
Em                      G                C          G
Can't you feel it? Your hometown hero is home, babe
 Am7   Am7/B C     D     E
(Oh,   oh,   oh,   oh,   oh,)
G          C           G
  It's Independence Day


[Outro]
Em                      G                C          G  G/F#
Can't you feel it? Your hometown hero is home, babe
Em                       G
Can almost taste it, the whole town's amazin'
C                  G           G/F#
Threw your man his own parade
Em                      G
You crack one face at a Pirates game
           C                           G             G/F#
They don't care who you are, they just put you away
Em                      G                  C       G
Can't you feel it? That hometown spirit is ho~ome, babe
 Am7   Am7/B C     D     E
(Oh,   oh,   oh,   oh,   oh,)
G          C           G
  It's Independence Day


I feel it's worth noting here that the way I play the chords over the (oh, oh, oh...) sections is as follows -
